I have a drum of radius of 1.375" with a wall thickness of .3025". It is rotating about its central axis at 2000 rpm. There are 6 holes drilled into the drum radially. I have a pin that slides in and out of those holes in order to release and stop the drum. I am trying to figure out the force of the impact on the when the drum is rotating and the pin slides into one of the holes.
Most problems I have seen don't involve something stopping completely, normally there is a before and after velocity. Now, I realize that there will be a bit of bounce when the pin hits the wall of the hole but I have no way of measuring or estimating the velocity after the impact. I want to assume it is 0 (worst case scenario).
I apologize that I don't have any attempted solution. I do not remember this stuff and it has been a while since I was in university.
Thanks,
